They storm the Earth and stun the Air,
A Mob of solid Bliss—
—Emily Dickinson
of every song
i’ve ever heard,
Sarah Vaughan,
a kitten’s purr,
a crashing wave,
a crooning bird,
the sweetest sound
i ever found
is the bustling clamor
of a full playground
Richard W. Bray
Let’s mosey on down
To the fun end of town
We’ll stretch out the years
Where time disappears
Let’s saunter along
Composing our song
Taking our time
Living for rhyme
Let’s wander a while
Always in style
Forgetting all fears
No worries, no tears
Let’s dally all day
Losing our way
My day won’t be blue
If I spend it with you
Richard W. Bray
the universe is big
and dark and cold
a kiss could break a heart
or so i’m told
her countenance was sweet
and warm and bright
a bed could burn for two
throughout the night
the atmosphere was fresh
and light and thin
unlike any place
i ever been
like Icarus i climbed
and fell and fell
a taste of heaven
on my way to hell
the universe is big
and dark and cold
a kiss could break a heart
or so i’m told
by Richard W. Bray
